Breakthrough...When God Chooses You

Air Date: December 28th

God brings breakthroughs to our lives so we can experience new fruitfulness in the season that follows. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our response to God’s interventions for us. The shepherds in the Christmas story show us how God’s plans are fulfilled through the breakthroughs He initiates. Pastor Allen teaches from this perspective, sharing lessons we can learn about accepting God’s intervention in our lives. He also provides five steps we can take to overcome the burden of rejection: forgive, lay down our baggage, know we’re accepted in Christ, accept ourselves, and find our place in the body of Christ. Asking God for breakthroughs and accepting the new things He reveals to us will help us find more freedom in our lives—and become more effective participants in His Kingdom.

Breakthrough... "The Lord Is With You"

Breakthroughs are frequently unsettling and disruptive, but they often lead to the most fruitful parts of our lives as we cooperate with God’s purposes. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses disruption, disappointment, and breakthroughs as he walks through God’s intervention in the lives of Mary and Joseph. In their stories, we see disappointment—but that’s not the end of God’s plans for them. Our Lord can bring great victories through uncertain circumstances, even when they may look like disturbances or interruptions to our own plans. Breakthroughs lead us through a journey of walking in God’s purposes, and He promises to be with us as we go.

Breakthrough... Alone in the Desert

Deserts may feel empty and bleak to us, but from a biblical perspective, they’re places of renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses breakthroughs in desert seasons, or those hard times when it feels like we don’t have the resources or strength to move forward. Looking at the biblical messaging surrounding deserts, Pastor Allen shows that God’s intervention often emerges from those desert seasons, initiating renewal in our lives. Our nation needs renewal, and while it may feel like we’re in the desert now, being obedient to change and realign our priorities will transform our future. Pastor Allen shares stories of biblical people like Zechariah and Elizabeth, Hannah and Samson, and Abraham and Isaac to demonstrate the importance of generational faith. Let’s reignite the faith of our generations, asking God to intervene and renew our nation.

Breakthrough... New Wine

When God is doing something new, it requires of us elasticity—a willingness to change. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our role in breakthroughs. The Bible demonstrates that God’s intervention means we get to be part of the change He initiates. Pastor Allen explains Jesus’ teaching on this concept. In Luke, Jesus tells us that new wine requires new wineskins—breakthroughs will require transformation on our part. He also shares examples of this in the lives of people like Zechariah, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, and Mary: people who received unexpected invitations that required them to make enormous adjustments. God wants to usher us into His perfect plans. Are we ready to make the necessary changes?
